Set IGNORE and forward your OP to maintainers of said ports.
Our TEX stack is way behind with few people motivated to assess/update
it from first principles.
Include the rationale (and "cat/port: why") details in the tex update
commit log message so its easy for people to grok what to do next.

I am looking forward to move forward a bit faster as there are lots of files involved and the files changes every now and then and merging everytime is really painful with this big of a patchset.
